The Power of Bold

I had a vision of a very bold scarf, two colors, two vertical stripes. The finished product is just what I'd hoped for.

This scarf has been my mindless/on the road knitting over the past few weeks. It was alternately completely ignored and compulsively worked.

This time of year, mindless projects are welcome. I've had to battle DD#1 for ownership. It'll be hers by the end of the week. . .

Yummy Koigu Kersti is so squishy, especially when worked in garter stitch. And my, oh my those Koigu colors do get me every time! I was in Purl Soho tonight admiring them again. One of the gals who works there was pulling out glorious combinations. I was tempted, but turned to other yarn choices in the end.

My wreath has been so dull, since I have yet to get around to buying a bow. But no, this scarf belongs around my DD#1's neck. The wreath will have to wait.
